Countdown to Prohibition
Hemp-derived THC products will become a Schedule I drug on November 12, 2026 unless we act.
Fighting for the Right Kind of Hemp
Don’t let bad actors ruin good hemp.
- Good hemp means real plants, thoughtful formulas, responsible doses, rigorous testing, and no synthetic cannabinoids. That's how we've always made Cornbread—and that's the kind of hemp we're fighting to protect.
- We support federal regulations that keep synthetic cannabinoids and unsafe products off store shelves. But the new federal law goes too far, putting trusted, full spectrum CBD and low-dose beverages at risk along with the bad actors.
- We believe in, and will continue to fight for, commonsense regulations that responsible operators in this space have been asking for since 2018:
- 21+ age gating
- child-resistant packaging
- third-party lab testing
- responsible labeling
- no synthetics
- reasonable milligram caps
This ain’t “gas station weed.”
- All Cornbread Hemp products are made with real, homegrown hemp from our family-owned Kentucky farm—not sketchy synthetics trying to skirt marijuana laws.
- We don’t want a loophole; we want a standard—smart regulations that keep bad actors out, without taking good hemp away.
There’s hemp. Then there’s good hemp.

Jim’s Statement:
“On September 1, the House of Representatives voted 370 to 48 to pass a short-term government funding bill that also delays a federal ban on Cornbread Hemp products that was set to take effect November 12.
The new deadline is now December 11, meaning Cornbread's products remain fully legal while we work toward a more permanent solution. Lawmakers from both parties backed the extension, a real sign of bipartisan support in Washington for keeping low-dose hemp products legal.
The bigger job is still ahead: Congress now has until December 11 to pass lasting regulations. Cornbread will continue working with lawmakers until the job is done.”
Immediate Priorities
If we don't act by November 12th, 2026, all hemp products with even trace amounts of THC will be made illegal and considered a Schedule I drug on par with heroin.
Cornbread Hemp has been working with our champions in Congress to plot a path forward:
Push for a one-year extension to give us all more time.
Our Statement
Mitch McConnell recently inserted language into a government funding bill that will ban hemp products nationwide in less than a year. This ban will take effect on November 13th, 2026.
That means that every product we make at Cornbread Hemp — even CBD products — will be illegal this time next year unless Congress fixes this problem that it caused.
If Congress does not fix this, our business and thousands of family farms, manufacturers, retailers, and workers across America will be forced to shut down. By next Thanksgiving, the hemp wellness options that millions of Americans rely on could disappear. But we are not giving up.

The Data Proves Connection to Hemp Wellness
The Largest Observational Study on Hemp-Derived Cannabinoid Beverages
Cornbread Hemp recently participated in the first large-scale, non-interventional, longitudinal observational study of beverages in real-world settings. The data from over 2,500 total participants across 20 different infused beverages show that the average hemp beverage consumer received benefits to health, wellness & overall quality of life.
